LIVE WAREHOUSE FIRM.
Jenkins & Elan, Proprietors of the
Carolina Warehouse.

The most recent addition to our
town, acknowledged one of the lead
ing and most important tobacco mar
kets of the State, in the way Of 4
warehouse firm, is that of Messrs. Jen-
kins & Elan. These are live and
progressive young men, experienced
tobacconists and competent ware
house men, and the very gratifying
success they have met with since en-
gaging in business here 4 short while
ago, speaks for itself in stronger Ian
guage than any we might employ.
The senior member of the firm Mr.
w. II. Jenkins, is we'll known to the
tobacco planters throughout this part
the country. He has had large expe-
renee in the warehouse business, is 4
good Judge Of tobacco, and his earn
est endcavor always is to make every
pound of the weed sold by him bring
all it is worth to the farmer.
Mr.. George Elan the Junior men,
Der of the concern, is HIMSELF farmer,
and naturally enough his aid and SYM
pathy are always enlisted in behalf Of
the honest hard working tillcrs Of the
soil. He is a young man of means,
good business capacity and turns cas-
lily and readily to the Office of a to-
bacco warehouse man.
Together Mess. jenkins & Elan
make strong team and their success
SO far the GOLD LEAF takes it is but
an earnest Of still greater success and
usefulness ahead of them. Alive to
every interest Of their patrons those
who sell tobacco at the Carolina ware
house may feel confident that their
rights will receive proper considera-
ton and lie fully protected.
Both members of the firm are live
young men, and with constantly in
creasing patronage. it may be reasona-
bly, predicted they will sell their full
share Of tobacco, and that their bust
ness will continue TO grow, We heart
lily wish them that success their pluck
and encrgy SO richly merits. Jesse l.,

WHAT THE TOBACCO TRADE IS DONG
FOR HENDERsoN.-Whi the GOLD LEAF
has already given publicity to the follow
ing items, g a good thing viii bear repeat
ing The last number Of the Cincinnati
Tobacco JOatrnaI says
A correspondent says that this promises
to he a notable year in the growth of Hen
dersOn, so far as tobacco buildings are
concerned. Besides the large brick ware
house now being built by Mr.. D. Y. Cooper
on Montgomery street, and to be, when
completed, one of the largest and best fit
ted-up warehouses for the sale of leaf to-
bacco in North Carolina. Messrs. Harris,
GoOch & Co. propose adding to their present
brick warehouse, almost doubling its ca
pacity. The Side Light is to be en-
larged by the proprietors, Messrs. Davis
Brothers. These improvements are es-
pecially gratifying to our people from the
fact that, while they are material and sub
stantial additions to the town, they are
called for by the demands of our tobacco
market The trade here this season has
sanguine tobacco men. The breaks"
still continue heavy and command fine
prices.
Messrs Strause & Raab, of Richmond,
have broken ground for their large four
story brick prize house on Orange street.
1t is to be a magnificent structure. and is to
cost between nine and ten thousand dollars.
MeSsfs- Allen & Ginter also Of Rich
lnOnd, have bought a lot on Montgomery
street, and contracted for a large four-story
| factory.
Messrs. Clary Brothers will also build
on Garnett street on their lot, work having
already been commenced. This firm
handles large quantities of the tweed, "
much OF which is shipped directly to Eng
land.

4 LARGE SNAKE,

The son of Mr.. Emory WilliSms, Of
Lunenburg county, shot and killed spe-
cies of black snake, known in that section
as the " cOW->uckeT." 1t was as long as a
fence rail and by actual count, it had IS
chickens, one Of which was frying size, 5
of which were partridge size, the rest
smaller. and dozen unbroken eggs i'll it,.
The truth of this statement is vouched for
by the whole of Mr.. Williams family
Merk!eaturg, Va, Democrat.
We used to live in that neighborhood
when we were boy, and were tolerably
we'll acquainted with the black snakes, but
never saw one of this size. We suppose,
though, since they have the stock law,
snakes, like everything else, grow larger.
We used to hear some people who had
been imbibing pretty freely of court
house whiskey say they could see snakes
lots of 'em, larger than this, and we knew
how to account for it, but when a whole
family of temperate and reliable people,
living i'll a prohibition county can 81 see
snakes as big as this, | tell you whiskey
would be dangerous thing IN Mat country,
and we commend the county Judge for
keeping it dry.

TIE LOCAL PAPER-The Reidsvile
Weekly says this of the home paper which is
very nearly correct: 1.-THE local paper
has been called photograph of the town
in which it is published. Sometimes it
falls short of doing justice in every feature,
but the representation as viewed through
the editors camera is generally fair, and is
oftener fattering. As man is better than
the work he performs, so is a newspaper
superior--in morality, in culture, in en-
terprise Ito the locality which it repre-
sents"

this town 1t is taken from the Raleigh
Christian Ady0cdto, and is pronounced by
those who have read it one of the most
beautiful and touching things of the kind
ever written by Mr.. Henry. 1t is indeed
graceful tribute to the memory of a most
excellent woman, a generous and gracious
heaTt-0ffering of one who knew and es-
teemed her, and will be read by a wide
circle of friends and relations with full
hearts and tear-dimmed eyes.
WE WANT MORE FACTORIES.-Di-
yersified Observation-Disclosures of va
rious kinds in connection with our other
enterprises what the GOLD LEAF has
been preaching for. We want something
to give employment to greater numbers of
our people, to keep our mechanics busy.
When we begin to diversity our manufac-
turing and agricultural industries and pro-
duce more than we consume, we will hear
the morning stars sing together as they
usher prosperous dawn athwart the coun-
try's horizon, and not until then.

A STAR OF THE FIRST MAGNITUDE.
We take pleasure IN directing the atten-
ton of our readers to the advertisement of
the Wilmington Morning Star, published in
this paper. The oldest daily paper IN the
State, we'll and ably edited, the Star is cas-
lily at the head of North Carolina daiIes
and deserves the splendid success that has
always attended it. Edit"rially we regard
it as the very strongest of our home ex-
, changes, and read it with interest and
profit. Its subjects are always fresh and
entertaining and its matter prepared with a
skilfuI hand and we'll balanced mind. No
paper has lahored more earnestly and con-
stantly for the good of the State and the
Democratic party, and that its services are
properly appreciated is evidenced by it:
wide circulation and ample advertising
patronage. We note some recent improve
ments in the Star which we are pleased
to see. 1t has put on partial new dress
of type, increased its telesraphic news SER
vice. gives a wider range of home aud gen
eral intelligence, and reduced the price OF
subscription. Its rates now are 5000
year; six months $500; three month:
$3.50; one month 80 cents. Weekly $l0C
a year six months 80 cents; three month:
80 cents.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

In 1910 gentleman in this town visited
Philadelphia and his trunk was taken to
the hotel by colored porter for twenty
five cents. On leaving white porter took
the trunk to the boat and charged fifty
cents for it. Last week this gentleman's
daughter went TO Richmond and was taken
to the hotel in one of the CARRIER (white
MANI hacks for twenty-five cents. Return
ing to the depot upon rendering the same
price, it was declined, with "Oh that is
Mr.. CARRIERS price, but 1 charge fifty
cents" She was not before aware she was
in hack belonging to a colored man.
